process for the National Team," said head coach Peter Albright. "I give US
Soccer and Head Coach Steve Swanson credit for looking at non-traditional paths
to the National Team, and for giving Becca a chance to show her remarkable
talent among the best players in the world. I'm very excited for Becca, and I'm
confident that her special qualities will allow her to be very successful in
this training environment."

decorated Spiders in Richmond history, was tabbed an NSCAA First-Team All

the country in points (36) and fourth in game-winning tallies (7). Wann
